Although Aubameyang stated last month that he could consider staying at Signal Iduna Park beyond his current contract, which expires in 2020, he has declined to offer any further guarantee over his future.

Asked if he will be a Dortmund player next season, he was quoted as saying by German media: "I don't know if I will stay. I just think about playing good football right now. I want to give my best and win titles. I just think about the sport and nothing else.

"Last year I scored 18 goals before Christmas. I hope I can do better this year. But I also want to focus on the second half of the season."
